Hi,
you filed bugreports for not being able to select multiple layouts.
Could you please get new XKB files from
http://people.debian.org/~barbier/xkb/xkb-4.3.0.dfsg.1-8+SVN.tar.bz2
and test your desired layouts? These layouts can be loaded without
problems, but as I am not familiar with them, it is pretty hard to check
that everything works fine. Since we are releasing soon, your feedback
is very important to quickly solve problems if needed (or to know that
it works ;)).
I tried the Canadian French layout, and everything seems to work
correctly. Among other things, the AltGr key (aka ISO_Level3_Shift) is
finally at the right place.
One small nit would be to change the shorthand string (that is used by
the gnome keyboard applet, etc. to indicate the current keyboard) from
"ca" to something a bit more descriptive (like "fr_ca") for the French
Canadian keyboard layout.
Hopefully these new keyboard layouts can be folded into a last X release
for testing. Otherwise having a defective layout makes use of programs
running under X pretty hard.
Thanks!
Christian
